I agree with the OP.
Many things need to be fixed and I'm glad that CCP is in the process of fixing them in the next build coming this August.\
As a friendly reminder to ALL PLAYERS, please keep in mind that this is in fact a BETA. Therefore, we are only seeing and experiencing the tip of the iceberg in terms of content, tools, gameplay, economics, politics, warfare, etc.
1. We only have three kinds of maps (Biomass, Communication, and Plateau) and all seem to be on a barren planet or at least in a desert that is in a temperate planet. CCP already told everyone that other planets will be available on launch such as temperate, barren, and maybe ice planets (or water planets, I forgot exactly). Not only that, the maps will be customizable in real time by the corporations that own the districts.
2. Graphics look like crap. That we all know including CCP. But right now CCP has bigger issues to deal with than graphics.
3. The economy has not fully matured yet. Soon (tm) we will be able to put up buy/sell orders with in the secondary market. I'm pretty sure there will be player who will profit from the margins of buying low and selling high without so much as firing a single shot. We have players like that in Eve.
4. We are only testing the vehicles handling and stats to see if they are balanced. If you feel that they are unbalanced then please report that on the feedback forums. Please keep in mind as well that anything militia is weak anyways by design and are only meant to help you understand the controls and what their purposes are. Consider them "training" vehicles and modules. Kind of like giving a kindergartner a pair of "safety" scissors before giving them a pair of "actual" scissors so that you know they can handle them.
5. I see players in Eve who are barely a few days old and are left to fend for themselves in a universe filled with veteran backstabbers. Over time, many will leave. But those that remain become skilled. CCP likes to retain players, but it seems they are more interested in retaining "good" players who dedicate themselves to learning the system. This is why Eve Online is filled with very intelligent people and not your typical scrubs from WoW. Some of the corporations that are part of the major alliances actually function in the same way as real-life corporations such as routine payouts, directors, electing board members, running and managing logistics, mining operations, security details, etc. Imagine seeing that in Dust one day once corporations are enabled.
6. Let's not forget the orbital bombardment that will come in for low-sec and null-sec systems.
Again, this is just a beta and obviously you know that. Even if it's finally finished, it's not really finished. Just like Eve Online, you should expect to see constant updates and new expansions to help Dust solidify its presence in New Eden. |
